Collection: Caribou Antlers

Caribou Antlers

Caribou are the only member of the deer family in which both sexes grow antlers. Adult bull caribou have extensive antlers in contrast to the smaller antlers of adult cows. The largest bulls shed their antlers in late October, but small bulls and non-pregnant cows do not shed their antlers until April. Pregnant females usually retain their antlers until calves are born in late May or early June.
